Manchester City’s Norwegian striker continues to set new records in the Premier League.
The match against Arsenal was special for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland. In addition to the fact that the Norwegian team is confident of defeating the opponent, the footballer himself set another victory in the English Premier League.
The striker scored the ball in the gates of Londoners, thanks to which he set a new record for goals in the championship. For the 22-year-old Norwegian, this goal is the 33rd in the current Premier League draw.
According to ESPN Stats & Info, he broke Mohamed Salah’s record of 32 goals in a Premier League season. At the same time, Haaland did it, playing only 29 matches.
It should also be noted that this record refers to the Premier League format, which has 38 rounds. The first seasons of the Premier League consisted of 42 rounds. In this format of the championship, Alan Shearer (season 1994/95) and Andy Cole (season 1993/94) share the scorer’s record with 34 goals each.
So the Norwegian can also surpass these achievements, as Manchester City have seven more league games to play. The next one is on Sunday, April 30, against Fulham.
